Apple Cider Slushies INGREDIENTS
3 c. apple cider 1 lemon, juiced 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 2 mini cinnamon-sugar doughnuts
DIRECTIONS
1. Pour cider, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a loaf pan, whisking to combine. Freeze for 1 hour. 2. Remove the cider mixture from the freezer and use a fork to scrape the slushy mixture, so it doesn’t turn into a giant ice cube. Once fully scraped and stirred, return it to the freezer for 1 hour more. 3. Remove the cider mixture from the freezer once again, using a fork to scrape and stir it into a consistency like shaved ice. If it’s not frozen enough for your taste, pop it back in the freezer for another 45 minutes. Otherwise, spoon into 2 glasses and garnish each rim with a mini doughnut.
